Mood disorders in preschool and primary school childrenCatina Feresin
Abstract
In the last few years a number of researchers have pointed out that the
seriousness of mood disorders among preschool and primary school children is
still underestimated when compared to the seriousness of the same illness
during adolescence and adulthood (Luby, 2009). In spite of that, many pupils are
still not diagnosed and treated. Without any treatment, this illness can lead to
severe psychiatric problems in future adolescents and adults who suffered from
it during their childhood (Carretti et al., 2009; Muratori, 2008; Muratori &
Apicella, 2008).
The objective of this work is threefold: firstly, to describe the principal
symptoms of mood disorders in order to help preschool and primary school
teachers to clearly recognise them; secondly, to describe the treatments which
psychologists and psychiatrists are using nowadays to treat young children
affected by this illness. Finally, as educators, we would like to suggest two
programmes which include a close cooperation between clinicians and teachers
themselves. The former is a three-step prevention programme to be held during
the last two years of primary school, whilst the latter is a programme to be held
during the last two years of preschool. It is understood that educators are not
asked to become clinicians, but they might closely collaborate with clinicians by
supporting children which are coping with mood disorders.
